Rules In April 2021, Regina City Council approved new traffic rules to help ensure the safety of
cyclists in our community. Some of these rules include: Drivers should be mindful of cyclists and
share the road with all other modes of transportation. Drivers must leave extra space when
following cyclists as bicycles travel slower than cars. Drivers cannot pass a cyclist in the same
lane and must wait until they can use another driving lane. Drivers should never speed past a
bicycle. Drivers must be cautious when opening vehicle doors to avoid a serious injury or fatality.
Don’t open car doors unless it is safe to do so for oncoming traffic or cyclists. Check your
side-view mirror before opening the door or try the Dutch Reach. This is when the driver uses their
right hand to crossover and open the vehicle door, allowing them to shoulder check for oncoming
bicycles. ...

icket. Fees for Temporary Street Use Permits will increase by 50 per cent. Existing exemptions
remain in place, including accessible parking stalls.Coin payment
for on-street parking has been removed. Parking is now paid using digital methods through the
PayByPhone service, accessible through the PayByPhone app, online or by phone. Prepaid parking
vouchers are available for purchase at City Hall for residents who are unable to pay digitally.
Each voucher is valid for one hour when displayed on a vehicle dashboard and must be used in
accordance with posted time limits and regulations. With the move to digital payment, some parking
rules have been updated. Parking is no longer tied to a specific meter location, so vehicles can be
parked anywhere along the curb, provided it is a legal parking space. These changes were approved
through the 2026–2027 Budget process and support a more modern and efficient parking system. More
information is available at Regina.ca/Parking.
